Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
Health Bill [HL]
I do not think I referred to the noble Baroness, Lady Howarth. I find it absurd, frankly, that a person who believes that you should cover up a display for tobacco should be happy to have alcohol displayed in attractive bottles with attractive labels; it simply does not make sense. Once you start on this course, it will surely extend to other products. I am getting sick and tired of freedoms that we have hitherto enjoyed being removed bit by bit in this country, and this is just another freedom that is being removed. I hope that the Committee will reject this new clause—although I am sure it will not.
